Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast, boneless skinless
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add chicken strips to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
While the chicken is cooking, wash and dry the zucchini. Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles). Set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream, reduce the heat to low, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the cooked chicken strips to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the Alfredo sauce.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently to mix with the chicken and sauce. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until just tender.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo!
